They have been changing the rules many times over the length of the program. They did it big time in 1983 when they raised the retirement age to 67 and indexed the cap for contributions. Check out my post #27. Both parties are responsible. Congress will have to do something. The status quo is not sustainable.
Agreed. But someone's going to have to walk the plank for this. My suggestion is that everyone who's served in Congress or the Senate for the last 35 years ought to have their assets seized and liquidated to pay for the damages they've done. They've committed political malpractice.
Of course, it might be necessary to amend the Constitution in order to do that, but I'd support an amendment that directs the IRS to seize their assets. I think there are a lot of others who would as well.
